Georgiev, T., Lumsdaine, A., Resolution in Plenoptic Cameras, COSI, October 2009. We demonstrate mathematically why the resolution of the Plenoptic 2.0 camera is higher than the resolution of the Plenoptic camera.

Georgiev, T., Lumsdaine, A., Superresolution with Plenoptic Camera 2.0 , Adobe Tech Report, April 2009. We show geometrically that the array of microimages in a Plenoptic 2.0 camera can be used for superresolution. We derive the conditions that make this possible. We also prove lightfield superresolution experimentally.

Lumsdaine, A., Georgiev, T., Full Resolution Lightfield Rendering, Adobe Tech Report, January 2008. We show that 500 times increase in the resolution of the plenoptic camera is possible! Originally submitted to SIGGRAPH 2008.

Historical Light Field

The very first light fields were captured by Lippmann, 1908. It took over 100 years to bring Integral Photography to market (see article in Scientific American 1911). Integral/Plenoptic/Lightfield cameras you can actually buy today: Lytro and Raytrix

Adobe Tech Report, April 2007 Lightfield Capture by Frequency Multiplexing. Careful theoretical derivation of what MERL authors call "Dappled Photography" and "Heterodyning". Proving that frequency multiplexing works for both mask-based and microlens-based cameras. This is a new result. It shows that the approach is truly universal: It's not a special "heterodyning" type of camera, but a "heterodyning" method of processing the data, applicable to any camera! Also, proposing a new "mosquito net" camera. And much more (wave artifact removal, F/number analysis). Examples.
